|
Definition
|
|
Term

| Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) |
|
|
Term
| STP is used with a network ___ or ___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ___ ___ ___ is the algorithm STP uses to correct loops. |
|
Definition
| Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) |
|
|
Term
| If the network topology changes, or if a switch port or bridge fails, ___ ___ ___ creates a new spanning tree, notifies the other bridges of the problem, and routes around it. |
|
Definition
| Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) |
|
|
Term
| ___ ___ ___ enables a bridge or switch to dynamically work around loops in a network topology. |
|
Definition
| Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) |
|
|
Term
| If a particular port has a problem, ___ ___ ___ can perform a number of actions, including blocking the port, disabling the port, or forwarding data destined for that port to another port. |
|
Definition
| Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) |
|
|
Term
| STP uses __ __ Data Units to identify the status of ports and bridges across the network. |
|
Definition
| Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) |
|
|
Term
| __ __ __ Units are simple data messages exchanged between switches that provide the status of ports to other switches. |
|
Definition
| bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) |
|
|
Term
| If a BPDU message finds a loop in the network, it is managed by shutting down the interface for that particular ___ or ___ . |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A ____ port accepts BPDU messages but does not forward them. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A ____ port is offline and does not accept BPDU messages. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A ____ port is part of the active spanning tree topology that forwards BPDU messages to other switches. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
A ____ port is not part of the active spanning tree topology but can take over if another port fails. These ports
receive BPDUs and identify changes to the topology when made. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A ____ port receives BPDU messages and monitors for changes to the network topology. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Most of the time, ports are in either a ___ or ___ state. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Using multiple network cables or ports in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of any one cable or port is called ___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The term ___ ___ means essentially the same thing as trunking. It uses multiple cables to increase throughput. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The higher-capacity ___ link is used to connect switches in larger networks. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ___ trunking, common with routers, firewalls, VMWare hosts, and wireless access points, provides a simple and cheap way to offer a nearly unlimited number of virtual network connections. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The ___ ___ Protocol, a proprietary protocol from Cisco, ensures that that the switch, network adapter, and OS drivers all support VLANs. |
|
Definition
| VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) |
|
|
Term
| ___ mirroring enables monitoring of network traffic and switch performance. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
To use port mirroring, administrators configure a copy of all inbound and outbound traffic to go to a certain
___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Port mirroring enables administrators to monitor the ___ and ___ traffic to the switch. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| With port mirroring, a ___ ___ examines the data sent to the port. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ___ ___ authenticates users on a port-by-port basis. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
